Cotton bollworm management
A common practice on farms, tank mixtures can cause problems such as clogging spray nozzles and even reducing the effectiveness of the products. When this process involves mixing biological insecticides with chemical pesticides, the effects on the control performance of caterpillars in cotton crops can become even more evident.

Integrated pest management in sugarcane
In the fight against sugarcane borer, root leafhoppers and Sphenophorus levis, the main pests in sugarcane, the best path lies in the adoption of integrated management, with the use of cultural, varietal, biological and chemical techniques. Among biological control strategies, the use of entomatogenic fungi plays an important role in combating these insects.

Insecticides
How to effectively control the corn leafhopper
The presence of tiguera plants, which provide shelter and food for the insect during the off-season and soybean cultivation period, are among the factors that help explain the higher incidence. Seed treatment with neonicotinoid insecticides, associated with other integrated and preventive strategies, has shown good results in managing this pest.
